For a third it may have been worth it although I think Adams best days are behind him. Hed still be better than anyone on the steelers roster though.

Regardless of what happens, people will overreact like they do from week to week.i've changed my mind on Russ vs Fields starting now about 9 times. Now that it looks like Wilson, im kind of against it lol. and yes, i know 2 hours ago, i said the opposite..
well good thing is tomlin, khan and rooney couldnt care less what i think and i guess we'll find out sunday night who's right or wrong.
What's even funnier is, there is still a really good chance that after sunday's game, it will be low scoring, we may win, we may lose and we'll probably still not know who the better option is. Does anyone really expect Wilson to either really suck or really be great?
You know it will be a 17-13 game, with 160 yards passing and depending on TJ watt, we win or lose late in the 4th quarter. And we are here monday morning, STILL not knowing who the hell our QB should be.
This ............is the Steeler/Tomlin way. Bank on it.You know it will be a 17-13 game, with 160 yards passing and depending on TJ watt, we win or lose late in the 4th quarter. And we are here monday morning, STILL not knowing who the hell our QB should be.
And will be running around like his hair is on fire behind this OL.Regardless of what happens, people will overreact like they do from week to week.
Oh…and Russ will still be throwing to the same guys who get no separation.

it really is. i watched the 1pm game, browns vs eagles (Because pittsburgh didnt get the ravens - redskins game) and it was brutal, i mean it hurt me to watch it. was over my neighbors, and just absolutely hurt me physically, mentally and emotionally to sit 3 hours and watch that freakin abortion of a game,waiting for the steelers..NFL is just a poor product right now. Unless you have one of like five quarterbacks in the league, you just play Tomlin ball and turn everything into a 21-18 slapping contest.

the pitt vs Cal game last week was pretty much the equivalent of every single steeler game i've watched for the last 3 years. Just Boring AF and hoping for the clock to hurry up and the game can be over so i can get on with my day..It's bad, man. Even Steeler games are kind of background noise for me now. Like I took a nap at halftime thinking "if I wake up I wake up; If I don't I don't." It's better than nothing, obviously, but I really do feel like I watch out of habit. I only enjoy it when I'm with other people who actually care and there are some drinks involved.
College football, on the other hand is an event for me. Starts with GameDay and ends late at night. I'm checking in on games and flipping through channels all day.
Pretty sure Russ’s red zone TDs were really good, even last year. Let’s just hope that they get there. Haha. Hate to bring up the dreaded “P” word…but Russ and Fields are both an upgrade over Kenny there.i think the biggest place we'll miss Fields this sunday is in red zone. how many times did his running bail us out and get us 6 points?
this fear of mine is more of a knock on the steelers' offensive players and play calling than it is a knock on Wilson.Pretty sure Russ’s red zone TDs were really good, even last year.

but that pitt game was an anomaly and i agree, college football all day is awesome. even last saturday with the oregon/tosu game and even the colorado game at like midnight.
Oh no. The Steelers are going to overpay. They don't have an out with him and there isn't a backup plan. He's played well enough that people are talking about how he's saved his career and they won't be low enough to draft a starter. Fields is the guy whether he's worth it or not.The only way Fields remains a stiller next year is if he signs for way cheap - say $10mil/year .
That’s about all he’s worth as a QB,
Then we are drafting another or grabbing a vet backup

I’ve stated as much probably 40 times in this thread. But I’ll ask you again, who would be better in this offense that was available? Kenny?
nahI’ve stated as much probably 40 times in this thread. But I’ll ask you again, who would be better in this offense that was available? Kenny?
Or maybe it’s because passing for 150 yards being 20th on offensive scoring maybe means it’s worth trying the vet qb who’s career fields can only hope to touch?Well I don't think they would bench him/mess with his confidence, with him having a half-decent 4-2 record and coming off a 32-13 win, if they thought he was the future.
JK, lol. This franchise would totally do that.
Other than degenerate gamblers who the hell was excited for last nights jets bills game? Even with marquee qbs it’s still a boring matchupNFL is just a poor product right now. Unless you have one of like five quarterbacks in the league, you just play Tomlin ball and turn everything into a 21-18 slapping contest.
i had Allen and George WIlson on my fantasy team, needed both to score decent to win and i still didnt watch it. Been doing outer banks season 3 with my son.Other than degenerate gamblers who the hell was excited for last nights jets bills game? Even with marquee qbs it’s still a boring matchup

Helped to have 2 legit WRs in fairness .Yeah, of course. Kenny was better last year in the same offense (except a worse line, and Canada).

Every freakin day on here. every single F'in day, kenny pickett blah blah blah blah.beating a dead horse - Google Search

Dude I’m with ya. Like FK my only point was the talent and coaching around him were so bad that the jury was out on how good or bad he is. Same goes with FieldsEvery freakin day on here. every single F'in day, kenny pickett blah blah blah blah.
How’d Dionte and George help Kenny? Granted Kenny didnt have them both at the same time for more than a handful of games but if they were what you guys claim they are, I suspect our QBs the past two years would be better. Kenny and Fields are below average throwers at this point in their careers and due to oline problems and weak offensive scheme and coaching, they could use dependable receivers, but Dionte and George ain’t them.nah
You like to blame the only legit receiver for fields problems .
Repetitively .
Because you’re baked in .
Fields isn’t THE problem (a lack of weapons and OL run blocking )- but he is A problem .
The only receiver likewise is not remotely anything close to a problem .
By the way Dionte seems to be a WR1 after all .
Would be nice to have him , instead of the $10mil in cap space being unused .
Didn’t Kenny go 7-3?How’d Dionte and George help Kenny?

See there you go finally throwing some common sense into the discussion. But you indicated above that wins don’t matter if a QB doesn’t have good passing stats. You said that’s how QBs are measured.Didn’t Kenny go 7-3?
Fields as a qb makes a good RB.See there you go finally throwing some common sense into the discussion. But you indicated above that wins don’t matter if a QB doesn’t have good passing stats. You said that’s how QBs are measured.
But yeah…if W/L, running stats and other things are to be considered, then yeah I think we can find some common ground.
2023 and 2024 offenses were both 4-2 at this point in the season.Fields as a qb makes a good RB.
But the overall offense is still mediocre and can’t win games
He sucks. I’d put good money on Kenny replicating or bettering those passing stats under smith
damn. My stats above your post Picketts and Fields passing yards. If I would have taken the team passing yards instead, I’m pretty sure that number backs out yards lost via sacks. I bet that makes a big difference.Kenny is skiddish in the pros. He might have similar passing numbers, but I suspect he’d still create some sacks. Fields has broken off a lot of nice runs when the line breaks down.
Just food for thought. As Tomlin said today, stats are for losers. Yes he said that. Lol.
The return of Kordell! Every year hope will spring anew that "the light will turn on"! Because what an athlete! And they'll just keep kicking the QB can down the road.Oh no. The Steelers are going to overpay. They don't have an out with him and there isn't a backup plan.

Fields is creating some of his own problems. It was the same thing in Chicago. Missing open guys, ball not coming out on time, generally not operating within structure, etc. Those things lead to pressure. Wilson is going to start because he gives them a chance of actually operating the offense as intended. I do think Wilson is just about washed, mind you.Kenny is skiddish in the pros. He might have similar passing numbers, but I suspect he’d still create some sacks. Fields has broken off a lot of nice runs when the line breaks down.
Kordell was ahead of his time and the Steelers didn’t do him any favors giving him 3 new coordinators over 4 seasons.The return of Kordell! Every year hope will spring anew that "the light will turn on"! Because what an athlete! And they'll just keep kicking the QB can down the road.
To be fair...Stewart's crappy play at the position brought the '98-'00 crappy results that really helped build the teams of the aughts. Although at this point I don't think they're interested in taking a step back even if it'd mean 2 steps forward.
And he’s giving Wilson the first team snaps .2023 and 2024 offenses were both 4-2 at this point in the season.
2023 pts per game through 6 games- 14.83
2024 pts per game through 6 games-20.67
2023 passing yards through 6 games- 209.5
2024 passing yards through 6 games- 184.0
2024 Fields rush yards through 6 games-38.5.
So Fields accounts for about 250 yards per game, while Kenny accounted for 210 yards per game (+whatever rushing yards he accurately)
Just food for thought. As Tomlin said today, stats are for losers. Yes he said that. Lol.
And he gave Kenny’s to Mason. So there’s that…And he’s giving Wilson the first team snaps .
Because fields is a backup quality qb
Yep- when Kenny needed ankle surgery and Mitch was terrible.And he gave Kenny’s to Mason. So there’s that…
See that’s where you are missing the point. Mitch was terrible. Kenny was not and neither is Justin.Yep- when Kenny needed ankle surgery and Mitch was terrible.
You aren’t good at this .
Hey is Mason still on the roster ? How about Kenny ?
